Sew and then Sew

I've had the sewing machine out for the last few days. I had a request to make some of my iPad beanbags and subsequently decided to look for new fabric to add to my stock. I came across this owl print - and I had to have it. So, when it came to the Less is More challenge this week, I decided to incorporate the sewing machine in the creation of my design. Here is the theme:

Three Colours

or

Three Shades of One Colour

I keep all of my scraps of card in separate colour collections so I went for the blue hues folder.

I chose a Sizzix heart die set to cut the hearts out of card and funky foam. I originally had meant to use the hearts alone but I felt the need to add the central vertical card strips. These were secured into place with a line of machine stitching. All that was left to do was to add the sentiment.

I'm sorry that I'm SO late in visiting this week, but a new laptop and getting to know new systems has taken up a lot of time! This is tremendous, I just love the texture.Thanks so muchChrissie"Les is More"
